Some bands..

[Marc McKay™]

Well I dont know what everyones into, but I thought I would post some bands im really into at the moment (other than Marty Casey/Lovehammers lol) rather than spam the place with a bunch of topics on each, thought I would just post some here (if thats cool) =)


Loaded:
Punk influenced hard rock band led by Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), loved these guys since their first album, but since Velvet Revolver happened, they didnt tour much, now they are back and I caught them last year in Glasgow, was an awesome gig. They released their latest album "Sick" came out in May, but you can get their first album free (Legally, its out of print so they released it for free download to help promote their tour). To round up the lineup the band has Mike Squires (Eat The Feeling, Nevada Bachelors, Alien Crime Syndicate) on Lead Guitar, Jeff Rouse (Alien Crime Syndicate, Vendetta Red, Sirens Sister) on Bass and Geoff Reading (Green Apple Quick Step, New American Shame, The Pinups) on Drums =)

To The Glorious Lonely:
Solo project by Loaded bassist Jeff Rouse, no releases but has some killer songs on his myspace =)

Villains Of Vaudeville:
The project of Beautiful Creatures and ex-Shake The Faith bassist Kenny Kweens, this edges closer to Hard Rock/Metal, no releases yet, but again like TTGL, some awesome songs on the myspace

The High Society:
Band from Birmingham, England with former members of a band called King Adora, kind of a Glam Rock/Punk influenced band. They have a digital EP titled "The High Society EP"
Myspace:

Sorry And The Sinatras:
Straight up Punk Rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featuring Scott Sorry (Amen, The Wildhearts, Brides Of Destruction). They have released their debut album last month and are touring the states at the moment

Now it wouldnt be right of me to be from Scotland and no post some Scottish bands, so heres a few =)


The View:
Dundee band, debut album went to number one in Britain, and were nominated for a Mercury Music Prize (quite a prestigious thing here) they released their second album this year, one of the biggest bands in the "Indie" music genre, the singer I dont like, really big headed =\ I say this based on the fact that Ive been out with him before and after they got big here, the bassist is a cool guy though lol Dundee is a pretty small place =P

14 Miles From Home:
Another Dundee band, pretty killer, the guitarist (Ross) is a friend of mine, they have an EP and should be releasing an album soon (independently)

Luva Anna:
Dundee Folk band, pretty awesome aswell, 2 EPs out there =)
Myspace:

Peep Show:
Glam Metal Band from Edinburgh who chose to ignore the indie scene, embracing the likes of Mötley Crüe, W.A.S.P. rather than Arctic Monkeys or The Enemy. They have an independent release titled "Out For Blood" and are working on their second album, the lyrics are a bit on the cheesey side but live these guys deliver pretty well =)

Wired Desire:
Hard Rock Band from Glasgow, basically like Peep Show but their music is closer to Guns N' Roses, at the moment they have 1 EP
Myspace:

Thanks for the info, Marc! I've checked out Loaded, and am thinking about going to one of their shows. Have you read Duff McKagan's blogs? Hilarious!!! He's quite a funny guy, and a good writer.

[/IMG] Hello Marc, thanks for posting some of your faves. I do know of VOV, my fave song of theirs is "The Devil is Waiting". When Marty toured through Texas with LAG, I met Kenny Kweens, he played with Bang Tango in Dallas, Bourne and Houston. Awesome performer and really nice person.
I'll be sure and check out your faves~~
